The point wasn't that hot women can't be soul mates it was really about not limiting yourself to only people you consider to be (or others consider to be) a 10. There is no reason you can't date attractive people but saying someone is a certain # on some stupid hotness scale and using this as a method of picking the women you date is not the best way to go about finding either a GF or "soul mate" or just a person to have fun with. There are so many other considerations other than typifiying women by stupid #'s.

I do not like the use of the number system but it does save on typing and work as a shorthand for the most physically attractive girls. That plus some other poster had already introduced a duel grading system with numbers for body and face so I was just continuing his nomenclature.

If we assume that all qualities of women are independent variables (which I believe they are). Then it make perfect sense to exclude everyone but the most attractive from consideration. Getting to know if someone is intelligent takes at least a few conversations. Finding out if they are attractive takes one second. Consider it a form of triage.

Since at time zero you know nothing about her and assuming all other qualities are independent of physical attractiveness then you are no worse off excluding all girls who are not hot enough. It in no way lowers your probability of finding this great match.
